You're Not Relevant Anymore: what happens when youtubers pass their peak? | Internet Analysis

let's chat about what happens when you're "not relevant" !! PS please check out my brand new Patreon if you're interested! www.patreon.com/tiffanyferg <3 <3 thank u so much for watching

i’ll sometimes mention “old” youtubers and ppl will have no idea who i’m talking about and i have to resist the urge to immediately turn into dust

Seeing Tyler Oakley in the thumbnail made me realize how much of a dinosaur I am in YouTube years.

The trick is to never peak.

It really makes me sad when people don’t remember the ones we loved growing up

I always think marzia is such a key case to look at. She never wanted a channel or dreamed of a YouTube career instead it was expected due to being the girlfriend of pewdipie, even having her channel named marziapie originally. She eventually left YouTube all together, not due to a lack of success but because she understood it was never her dream and wanted to pursue other things. I think it was incredibly brave and a great example of someone leaving despite still having massive success, good income and a lack of drama.

One thing I've learned about myself working in a 9 - 5 is that I thrive in stability and enjoy a traditional office setting. I see so much "boss babe" and hustle culture rhetoric that makes working a 9 -5 seem like a bad thing when it doesn't have to be. Some people want to be entrepreneurs and be their own boss, others want an office job that gives a predictable workload and hours. Neither is bad, but right now people are really shitting on people who are working a 9 -5 and don't have a side hustle they're trying to make their primary source of income

This video better have been 1/10 + confetti 🎉 or we call Susan

peaking is fun and then immediately horrifying. couldn’t agree more.

the creator studio is so helpful when youre just starting out as a youtuber but once you hit your "blow up" it just serves as a reminder that you need to be constantly "bettering' your content and constantly growing which is AWFUL for mental health and honestly? i dont even check it anymore because i cant deal

Crazy how Jenna Marbles was still so loved and relevant after all her years on YouTube. She was an OG! She totally restyled her content and still did pretty well, millions of views per video. You don’t see that often. What a legend. I miss her 😭

I’ve noticed this thing with singers and actors too. They’ll hit a peak and then due to just the passing of time or other factors they’ll kinda loose relevancey then they go on to either still keep putting out music or show up on tv and people are like “why are they still trying to be relevant they need to go” like??? Just because a person isn’t as relevant as they used to be dosnt mean they should give up something they truely love doing and as long as their still able to support themselves then simply quitting their job because there not as popular is just stupid to me

I've always suspected that Jenna Marble's departure from youtube was partially due to her feeling done with the platform or bored with her content. This way, her exit was more "graceful" than if she had fought through the controversy only to leave 6 months later anyways. She found herself at a natural stopping point and, though ending on a low note, took advantage of it.

omg I haven’t watched the whole video yet, but thank you so much for including me and my video! 😭

Tyler Oakley just chills now and plays games on twitch with a smaller but dedicated audience

I think simplynaillogical is the best example of a big youtuber that is making videos that are fun for her on youtube, having a lucrative business (halo taco) and have a full time job to bring balance all together

Also omg my fave thing about your comments section is finding about 20 new channels to subscribe to!

i feel like there's also a LOT of creators that started as a "i'm just like you" type of personality, and as they blew up, they tried to "maintain" this relatability. and obviously, it's quite hard to relate to someone who now lives in a mansion and orders take out 3x per day when you're living in a one bedroom apartment, struggling to make ends meet. I think that's probably the one type of video that a creator cannot get away with maintaining forever...

The creator studio ruins my day 🙂 thank u for addressing it

I have an unhealthy need for validation from that bloody confetti 🎉
